Welcome to Sedro-Woolley: Gateway City to the North Cascades
and longest running Loggerodeo™ celebration in the State of Washington.
T
he 4th of July has been celebrated in Sedro-Woolley for what will be 122 years. From chainsaw carving to the carnival to the parade and
climatic fireworks, Loggerodeo™ offers something for everyone. But last year we experienced a year quite unlike any other. Along with all other cities in Skagit County, we were mandated to cancel all events. This year will also be different, however the Loggerodeo™ Committee and Sedro-Woolley Chamber of Commerce have worked to creatively provide a few of our traditional 4th of July activities while staying COVID safe. So please pardon the limited activities that will also emphasize COVID practices. While you are here be sure to check out our city parks, and if time permits, the National Parks, which are a short drive east on Hwy 20. The SWIFT Center has opened several trails that connect with Veterans Park on Helmick Road and offer miles of natural beauty to experience and enjoy with your family and pets. Willow Brook Manor offers bike tours that take you along the Cascade Trail and tour the marked historic sites after enjoying tea and scones, (full details on their website). There have been renovations to our Sedro-Woolley Museum, which provides a charming look back into our history. The newly refreshed displays will engage your imagination and curiosity. Not to be missed is our Central Business District, filled with unique stores and variety of restaurants that provide old-fashioned customer service while enjoying the unique Americana feel. We hope you enjoy your stay with us, and we look forward to a return to normal activities come spring and summer of 2022. Until then, stay safe and have a wonderful 4th of July celebration. Julia M. Johnson, Mayor of Sedro-Woolley
